Bermuda, May 17, 2023: Cool Company Ltd. (NYSE: CLCO / CLCO.OL, "CoolCo" or the
"Company") announced today that it has entered into a new time charter agreement
for one of its TFDE vessels starting early next year. The multiyear charter is
with an energy major and starts upon redelivery from the Vessel's current
charter. It will add back log through to 2027.
"We are delighted to have secured this attractive time charter, locking in cover
at a rate that reflects the continued strength of the LNG carrier market " said
Richard Tyrrell, CEO of CoolCo. "The forward nature of this contract
demonstrates the desire of LNG producers, offtakers, and portfolio players to
secure modern tonnage to transport the dramatically increasing volumes of LNG
coming online through the middle and latter parts of the decade. With vessel
availability coinciding with seasonal peaks for chartering, CoolCo stands to
benefit from the ongoing LNG carrier re-pricing cycle. Happy Norwegian
Constitution Day to our investors"
